Lalique collections are again ready for fans of one of the great names of the jewelery history ♥
Death and resurrection. Or, if you like it more: a good revival. The history of the Lalique brand goes back more than a century and a half ago, namely on April 6, 1860, the birth date of René Jules Lalique. One of the greatest designers, but the term is very reductive, which marked an era and, incidentally, the Belle Epoque, in Paris and in the jewelery. His creations had as their subject, above all, natural elements, animals and women, with the style of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
Lalique was not only an expert in gold and precious stones, but also a glassmaker and object designer. He worked for Cartier, designed jewels for Sarah Bernhardt and was a star of the 1900s Universal Exhibition in Paris. In 1945, his company, which had expanded its activity to crystal objects, was pursued to A bit from his nephew, Marie-Claude. Lalique brand has come back to full strength in 2008 when it was bought by Swiss Art & Fragrance, under the management of Silvio Denz.
The company produces perfumes, crystals, but has also returned to jewelry with collections such as Terramineral, which features three sculpted and chiseled crystal cuts, which create patterns as varied as they are elegant. Like a bezel setting, the delicate setting perfectly embraces the contours of the crystal. Or with lines such as Ginko, inspired by the leaves of the Asian plant. A rebirth welcomed with pleasure by enthusiasts, who can now choose between fine jewelry and a line of a few high jewelry pieces. Lalique has also opened a store dedicated to jewelry and high jewelry on Rue de la Paix, in Paris, a few steps from Place Vendôme. The collections, with over 200 pieces, confirm the rebirth of the Lalique brand in the jewelry that counts.
